Temple of Heaven

Templeofheaven04 Situated in the south of Beijin, this stunning temple park was built between 1406 and 1420. Where  the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties prayed, through an elaborate ritual, to the gods for good rains and good harvests. It counts with four main areas 1- the Round Altar,2- Echo Wall, 3-the Vault of Heaven and 4-the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. The distinctive outline of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is a symbol of Beijing, and a whisper at any point on the echo wall can be heard anywhere else along its length. It will cost you CNY35 but it is definetly worth every CNY.
